The offspring of the woman, Jesus Christ, came into the world to save women who have dethroned God, taken His place, defined personhood as tissue, and willed the death of their own child. It can't be reversed, but it can be forgiven. That is why Christ died.

Feeling loved by God means feeling glad not only that He crushed His Son so that I can be forgiven, but that He's crushing everything that takes away from my praising of the glory of His grace.
John Piper
Image
We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.

It isn't sex by itself that makes abortion. It is sex plus covetousness: desiring things that God does not will for us to have because we are not willing to find our satisfaction in him. Illicit sex and unencumbered freedom without children: for these we covet, and abortion is the result.
John Piper
Image
Does Christ get a good reputation because of the way we live? Is the excellence of Christ displayed in our lives? That should matter to us, not whether we ourselves are praised.
John Piper
Image
May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.
John Piper
Image
If God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.

Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.

Humble us, O God, under your mighty hand, and let us rise, not as professionals, but as witnesses and partakers of the sufferings of Christ.
